/^UR  two  years  on  the  Campus  have  gone  and  it 
is  with  mingled  feelings  of  joy  and  sorrow  that 
we  step  out  into  the  world  to  apply  the  knowledge 
we  have  gained  here.  That  this  Shorthorn  may 
serve  to  remind  us  in  later  years  of  the  many  pleasant 
experiences  which  have  been  ours,  of  the  trials  and 
tribulations  of  greater  or  less  degree  which  we  have 
endured,  and  of  the  friends  we  have  made,  is  the 
hope  of  those  who  are  responsible  for  the  production 
of  this  volume. 


1928  W^HORIHORN 


This  year,  1928,  marks  a  ten-year  period  of  educational  service  which  the 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College  has  rendered  to  the  young  men  and  women 
of  the  state  thru  the  Two-Year  Course  in  Practical  Agriculture.  Accurate 
results  of  any  educational  program  are  always  difficult  to  figure — and  statistics 
alone  do  not  tell  the  whole  story.  It  should  be  of  interest,  however,  to  observe 
the  trend  of  enrolments  in  the  course  from  its  beginning. 

1918-19—    37  1923-24—169 

1919-20  —  209  1924-25  —  161 

1920-21  —  277  1925-26  —  189 

1921-22  —  293  1926-27—165 

1922-23  —  257  1927-28  —  205 

During  the  four  years  following  the  end  of  the  Great  War  the  large 
registrations  are  explained  by  the  great  number  of  ex-service  men  taking 
agricultural  training  under  the  U.  S.  Veterans'  Bureau  program  of  rehabilita- 
tion. This  work  practically  ended  with  the  year  1923,  altho  four  field 
instructors  were  kept  at  work  thru  1925,  supervising  the  placement  jobs  of 
the  former  soldiers  and  assisting  them  to  successful  beginnings  in  their  new 
vocations.  Since  1924,  then,  the  enrolment  figures  can  well  be  interpreted  as 
an  index  of  the  normal  interest  young  people  of  Massachusetts  are  showing 
in  entering  agricultural  occupations.  For  a  state  chiefly  industrial  in  its 
pursuits  the  record  is  a  good  one. 

Year  by  year  the  graduates  of  the  Two-Year  course  have  been  taking  up 
their  new  duties  and  responsibilities  which  this  training  has  helped  make 
possible.  And  today  our  alumni  records  carry  the  names  of  over  500  graduates, 
a  good  percentage  of  whom  are  engaged  in  the  business  of  agriculture. 

An  effective  system  of  placement  training  has  been  developed  which 
enables  every  student  to  get  six  months  of  valuable  experience  under  working 
conditions  which  test  and  demonstrate  the  principles  of  the  class-room. 
Growing  out  from  this  has  come  an  employment  service  for  graduates  of  the 
course  by  which  the  College  is  increasing  its  usefulness  both  to  the  trained 
worker  and  to  the  employer. 

With  the  undergraduates  we  have  seen  a  healthy  growth  in  athletic 
activities,  football,  hockey,  basketball,  and  baseball;  the  social  life  of  the 
Two-Year  Clubs  is  a  steadying  and  helpful  influence  in  the  student  groups; 
and  problems  of  student  government  are  well  handled.  For  all  this  sound 
development  of  customs  and  organizations  we  owe  much  to  the  early  founders 
of  the  work  and  to  the  pioneer  classes  whose  interests  and  enthusiasms  built 
so  well. 

Today  finds  the  College  with  a  new  leader  at  the  helm  whose  under- 
standing and  conception  of  the  service  to  be  rendered  by  all  departments  of 
the  institution  augurs  well  for  the  future.  New  problems  and  adjustments  are 
to  be  faced  as  always.  May  the  Class  of  1928  feel  their  responsibility  in  the 
work  that  lies  ahead  and  be  eager  to  carry  on  the  work  so  well  begun  a: —

(New  Name  Adopted  by  College  Trustees — May,  1928) 

Owing  to  a  feeling  that  there  might  be  confusion  in  the  public  mind  concerning 
the  real  purpose  and  plan  of  the  Two-Year  Course  in  Practical  Agriculture  so  long  as 
it  continued  under  that  name,  President  Edward  M.  Lewis  presented  a  year  ago  a 
suggestion  to  the  Trustees  of  the  College  that  a  new  name  be  selected.  No  name 
seemed  more  appropriate  than  that  of  the  first  professor  of  agriculture  of  the  College, 
Levi  Stockbridge,  who  was  himself  a  practical  farmer,  active  superintendent  of  the 
College  farm  of  those  early  days,  and  a  real  supervisor  of  placement  training  at  a  time 
when  it  was  required  of  the  students  as  a  pait  of  the  class  program,  with  tasks  assigned 
on  the  college  farm.  It  was  felt  by  the  Trustees  that  any  action  towards  such  a  change 
in  name  should  not  be  taken  too  quickly  to  insure  careful  consideration.  The  Two- 
Year  course  had  grown  and  prospered  over  a  period  of  almost  a  decade  and  it  was 
the  desire  of  all  the  members  of  the  Board  to  avoid  any  step  which  might  hinder  the 
continued  development  of  the  Two-Year  course,  or  detract  in  any  way  from  the  good 
name  and  reputation  for  service  which  it  had  already  made  for  itself.  So  the  matter 
was  tabled  for  later  consideration  and  the  in-coming  president  found  it  among  other 
questions  of  college  policy  yet  to  be  determined. 

Early  in  November,  at  the  annual  Two-Year  Alumni  meeting  in  Springfield,  I 
outlined  my  own  ideas  on  the  question  of  a  new  name  and  later  at  the  suggestion  of 
Director  Verbeck  presented  another  statement  for  the  alumni  which  was  printed  in 
the  "Two-Year  Alumni  News"  for  March.  In  this  I  asked  for  suggestions  on  a  new 
name  so  that  all  interested  might  have  a  chance  to  designate  a  preference.  In  response, 
I  did  hear  from  several  of  the  graduates.  Following  this,  members  of  the  present 
senior  class  indicated  they  were  much  interested  in  the  matter,  especially  if  a  new  name 
were  to  be  adopted  by  the  Trustees  before  the  class  graduated  in  June.  A  committee 
of  the  class  called  upon  me  and,  after  learning  what  names  were  considered  as  suitable, 
prepared  and  mailed  a  postal  card  vote  to  over  seven  hundred  former  students  of  the 
course  whose  names  and  present  addresses  were  available. 

The  name  submitted  for  alumni  vote  was  "The  School  of  Agriculture  at  Massachu- 
setts Agricultural  College"  and  a  large  majority  of  the  cards  returned  indicated 
approval  of  the  change.  With  these  suggestions  available  from  alumni  and  under- 
graduates the  Trustees  had  the  question  again  presented  to  them  last  Saturday,  May  5, 
and  after  careful  deliberation  voted  to  adopt  the  original  suggestion  of  fotmer  President 
Lewis,  as  one  most  fitting  for  the  type  of  educational  service  to  agriculture  which  is 
being  given. 

To  all  alumni,  alumnae,  former  students,  undergraduates,  and  friends  of  the  old 
"Two-Year  Course"  I  therefore  wish  to  introduce  the  new  name  of  this  important  part 
of  our  college  family: — 

The  Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture 

at 

Massachusetts  Agric/dtural  College 

And  may  I  express  the  hope  that  it  will  soon  become  to  all  of  you  an  old  familiar  name, 

honoring  both  the  course  and  the  name  of  one  who  did  so  much  for  the  College  in  its 

early  history,  and  was  such  an  inspiring  teacher  and  leader  for  earlier  generations. 

The  new  name  will  go  into  effect  at  once  and  Director  Verbeck  is  already 
arranging  for  a  new  form  of  diploma  to  be  presented  for  the  first  time  to  the  graduating 
class  of  1928.

OIlaHS  il^tBtnr^ 


It  was  a  fine  autumn  day  when  we  returned  to  the  campus,  shook  hands 
with  old  comrades  and  renewed  old  acquaintances.  After  acclimating  ourselves 
to  the  change  from  placement  training,  we  settled  down  to  work  and  achieve. 

The  class  that  had  troubled  the  seniors  so  much  the  past  year  now 
proceeded  to  strike  terror  in  the  hearts  of  the  frosh  and  this  culminated  in 
the  annual  hat  rush,  where  the  class  of  '28  turned  in  another  sterling  perform- 
ance as  regards  rough  and  tumble  fighting.  The  class  of  '29  was  unusually 
large  and  their  thorough  taming  reflects  credit  on  the  small  but  capable  group 
of  seniors.    The  two  clubs  also  got  under  way  and  social  life  set  in. 

Meanwhile  the  senior  class  made  history  for  itself.  A  social  was  extended 
to  the  frosh,  who  returned  the  courtesy  in  great  style.  The  spirit  of  the  class 
has  been  evidenced  by  the  interest  it  has  taken  in  sponsoring  the  movement 
for  a  name  for  the  course,  in  obtaining  a  new  and  better  certificate  for  com- 
mencement and  in  furthering  the  interests  of  the  course  as  it  has  seen  them. 
The  movement  for  a  new  name  resulted  in  the  trustees  voting  to  call  the 
course  "The  Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture  at  Massachusetts  Agricultural 
College." 

Placement  training  period  came  with  the  close  of  the  winter  term  and 
the  freshmen  left  us  to  strive  as  best  we  could  without  them.  The  last  term 
was  so  filled  with  activity  that  almost  before  we  realized  it  commencement 
descended  upon  us. 

The  activities  of  the  Class  of  '28  are  truly  now  history.  "We  can  only 
hope  that  we  have  played  our  part  while  here  well.

"Big  Boy"  divides  his  time  between  cattle,  and  that  even

Dick  is  not  absent  minded,  for  if  he  were  "Billie"  (her

altar  by  a  nose  ring.  Dick,  like  the  more  insignificant  Beau 
Brummel  before  him,  is  a  faultless  dresser,  and  would  be 
very  popular  were  it  not  for  his  indiscriminate  use  of  mange

sore  straits  over  genetics,  he  is  apt  to  moan,  "Brown  eyes,

between  playing  rummy  and  mysterious  journeys  to  unknown 
parts  for  unknown  reasons.  Dan  rates  high  in  fraternity 
life,  and  also  aspires  to  lodge  activity,  so  that  if  he  is  not  a

All  the  winter  carnivals  are  honored  by  this  Don  Juan,  and

To  start  with,  Brad  is  the  star  end  of  the  football  team. 
To  continue,   he  is   one  of  the   most  popular  chaps   in   the 
class    because   of   his    helpfulness,    sympathy    and    unruffled 
good   humor.     He  is   a  persistent  plodder   and   has  demon- 
strated  his   ability  on  several   important   committees.      It  is 
rumored   that   he   can   do   the  work   of   ten   men   and   has   a 
large  future  in  the  nursery  business.     Just  as  our  Bradford 
was  about  to  grace  the  diamond  as  a  ball  tosser,  he  became 
the  victim  of  a  bad  "break,"  but  we  trust  his  ankle  will  heal 
well  as  did  Starkweather's.

So  conscientious  is  this  lad  that  he  is  sometimes  a  bit 
absent  minded,  and  as  a  result  is  apt  to  call  you  by  any 
conceivable  Christian  name  from  Leo  to  Benvenuto,  but  this 
is  just  a  little  failing  of  his.  A  rugged  and  versatile 
athlete,  an  excellent  student  by  virtue  of  his  dogged  deter- 
mination, and  ever  an  amiable  and  amusing  companion, — 
for  what  more  could  you  ask?  Tree  surgery  is  ace  high 
with  Butts,  and  he  treats  the  tall  timber  as  tenderly  and 
skillfully  as  any  medical  surgeon  ever  operated.

John  is  a  dairy  "stude"  and  is  the  author  of  that  soul

that  Sam's  range  of  activities  include  football,  a  club  presi-

of  stories,  usually  told  at  some  one  else's  expense.  "Tommy

arguing  out  some  point  with  the  stem  of  a  pipe.  His  biggest

Pulley  has  other  interests  than  football  and  it  is  rumored 
that  he  is  the  rummy  champion  of  the  New  England  states. 
The  pig-skin  patriarch  has  gone  in  for  poultry.  Our  keen 
mind  sees  wonderful  advertising  possibilities,  to  wit: 
"Pulley's  Pullets — Poultry  at  Popular  Prices." 

The  nickname  Pulley  and  the  surname  of  a  certain  mem- 
ber of  the  faculty  have  caused  no  little  confliction  in  the

which  is  always  genuine.  He  knows  how  to  talk  and  (here

gift  of  gab  and  also  the  way  in  which  he  draws  milk  at  the 
Agricultural  Tavern  when  the  tank  is  low.  He  can  get  a 
drink  quicker  than  lots  of  people  who  live  in  houseboats 
and  almost  as  easily.     There  is  only  one  •'Had."

When  Yabo  came  to  us  he  thought  that  a  neckerchief 
was  the  head  necker  in  a  sorority  house,  but  we  have  shown 
him  the  errors  of  his  thoughts.  His  blond  wavy  hair  and 
Hatfield  dialect  are  famous.  At  present  there  seems  to  be  a 
question  as  to  whether  he  will  stay  here  and  make  ice-cream 
or  go  to  South  America  and  grow  bananas.

Bob  is  one  of  those  exotic  creatures  that  stand  alone. 
It  is  written  that  the  mold  was  destroyed  after  he  was 
made.  Bob  is  the  official  cheer  and  song  leader,  and  his 
gyrations  on  the  field  are  quite  worthy  of  note.  He  is  an 
ardent  admirer  of  the  Smith  Brothers  and  will  cultivate  a 
beard  just  as  soon  as  his  moustache  is  well  under  control, 
numerous  conflagrations  and  tong  wars  having  retarded  its 
growth.

It  is  inevitable  that  the  number  of  students  graduating  with  their  class 
shall  be  smaller  than  the  number  that  matriculated,  due  to  circumstances

As  the  time  approaches  when  we  will  be  alumnae  too,  we  cannot  help  but 
think  of  the  work  of  the  past  year  and  judgment  must  be  passed  as  to  our 
success  or  failure. 

A  small  but  select  few  bore  the  brunt  of  our  not  too  severe  initiation, 
held  off-campus  for  the  first  time,  after  we  had  become  thoroughly  acquainted 
at  a  tea  given  for  our  willing  victims. 

To  replenish  our  not  overstocked  treasury  we  made  and  sold  fudge  to 
our  classmates  of  discrimination,  who  bought  and  called  for  more. 

Due  to  crowded  conditions  in  the  Abbey  some  of  our  members  lived 
off-campus  and  for  their  benefit  we  changed  the  time  of  our  meetings  from 
the  evening  to  the  afternoon. 

The  advent  of  leap  year  could  not  pass  without  appropriate  celebration, 
so  we  held  a  leap  year  costume  dance,  well  attended  and  very  successful. 

With  half  of  our  number  leaving  for  the  more  or  less  tedious  practical 
training,  we  attended  a  banquet  held  at  Bates  Inn,  resurrecting  a  custom  for 
the  first  time  since  1925. 

A  farewell  party  left,  we  hope,  a  pleasant  memory  of  seniors  who  will 
not  be  present  at  the  next  roll-call,  but  who  hope,  as  our  seniors  have  done, 
to  return  often  during  the  coming  year  and  re-awaken  memories  for  old 
times'  sake. 

With  promises  of  numerous  letters,  well  filled  to  date,  our  freshmen 
left  us,  still  inspired  by  the  ideals  and  aims  of  the  S.  C.  S.  which  we  have 
endeavored  to  impart  to  them,  and  we  rest  secure  in  the  knowledge  that  they 
will  be  worthily  carried  on.

In  years  to  come  we  will  look  back  upon  the  past  year  and  recall  the 
many  events  in  which  the  members  of  Kolony  Klub  participated. 

Our  first  real  responsibility,  of  course,  was  the  rushing  of  freshmen  and 
this  part  of  the  program  was  well  started  with  smokers  and  socials  at  the 
house.  The  freshmen  will  admit  that  we  were  good  "to  them  until  the  selected 
group  had  signed  on  the  dotted  line,  but  from  then  on  we  impressed  our 
wishes  on  them  in  an  unmistakable  fashion.  The  most  anticipated  affair  of 
the  year,  for  the  freshmen  at  least,  was  the  initiation  banquet  held  at  Draper 
Hall,  because  it  marked  the  end  of  senior  hostilities. 

One  cold  and  stormy  night,  the  "Hyhats"  and  "Inquisitors"  surprised  us 
with  an  impromptu  party  that  no  one  will  forget.  Many  of  us  discovered  our 
ability  as  orators  that  evening  and  earned  for  ourselves  lasting  nick-names. 

However,  all  good  things  must  end,  and  the  freshmen's  stay  with  us 
ended  with  the  Farewell  Banquet  which  was  held  at  the  Hotel  Perry.  The 
"Hyhats"  again  surprised  us  with  another  party  after  the  banquet  in  honor  of 
The  Goddess. 

Spring  term  began  and  before  we  realized  it  Commencement  was  upon 
us.  With  it  came  our  one  big  social  event  of  the  year,  the  Prom  House  Dance. 
Everyone  will  agree  that  it  was  the  best  of  the  year.

HtfitDrg  of  A.  ®.  %, 

On  the  first  night  of  our  return  to  the  campus,  a  small  but  dynamic  nucleus 
gathered  together  in  the  meeting  room  of  A.  T.  G.  to  lay  plans  for  the  ensuing 
year.  Even  the  most  optimistic  of  us  could  not  predict  the  success  that  was 
to  be  ours  during  that  time.  A  smoker  was  planned  for  the  freshmen  at 
which  light  banter,  coruscating  witticisms  and  grave  wisdom  were  hurled  at 
the  neophytes  without  discrimination.  Card  games  and  the  time  honored 
refreshment  of  cider  and  doughnuts  were  the  order  of  the  day.  That  our 
advances  met  with  response  was  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  thirty  yearlings 
pledged  themselves  and  accordingly  were  duly  initiated — (as  the  current 
colloquialism  has  it — "and  how!"). 

A  house  party  was  held  at  the  Women's  Club  House  and  our  social  lions 
claimed  it  to  be  a  classic.  A  second  rushing  season  held  near  Christmas  time 
netted  a  dozen  more  freshmen.  During  the  winter  term,  the  club,  augmented 
by  so  many  frosh  prospered  to  no  mean  degree,  and  a  basketball  team 
representing  the  fraternity  performed  nobly,  its  work  in  the  inter-fraternity 
league  being  gratifying  indeed.  With  the  co-operation  of  the  Kolony  Klub 
a  delightful  inter-frat  dance  was  put  on.  As  placement  training  time  drew 
near,  a  banquet  was  held  and  officers  for  the  coming  term  were  elected. 

The  responsibility  for  next  year  rests  on  the  broad  shoulders  of  Hermie 
Hoyt  as  president,  assisted  by  Jim  Woodger,  vice-president.  Jack  Hall, 
secretary,  and  Ed  Hobart  as  treasurer.  The  club  members  are  to  be  congra- 
tulated on  their  fine  judgment  in  selecting  these  boys. 

A  small  group  of  seniors  was  left  after  the  exodus  of  the  frosh,  and  much 
hilarity  was  enjoyed  by  this  group.  A  smoker  given  to  the  members  of  Kolony 
Klub  preceded  the  commencement  activities  of  the  organization,  where  at  the 
Class  of  '28  A.  T.  G.  completed  their  school  life  with  the  pep  and  gusto  that 
characterized  their  two-year  stay.

"THIS  WOMAN  BUSINESS" 
By  Benn  W.  Levy 
Synopsis — A  brilliant  English  comedy  based  on  the  perennially  interesting 
subject  of  misogyny,  filled  with  clever  lines,  witty  dialogue  and  a  lively  inter- 
play of  well-diversified  characters.  The  plot  concerns  five  men  who  are  banded 
together  by  their  hatred  of  women.  Into  this  Eveless  Eden  comes  one  woman 
who  confesses  that  she  is  a  thief  and  tells  them  to  send  for  the  police.  But 
they  do  not  and  she  stays.  For  the  remaining  two  acts  one  woman  upsets  all 
the  theories  propounded  by  the  worthy  five.  The  result  is  an  amusing  comedy 
and  a  delicate  satire.

Through  the  interest  and  efforts  of  some  of  the  students  a  new  activity 
was  instituted  this  year  in  the  organizing  of  a  Glee  Club.  Warren  A.  Batchelor 
was  elected  President,  and  an  Executive  Board  was  appointed,  consisting  of 
Bradford  Butler,  George  Kimball  and  Fred  Moore. 

Mr.  Alexander  Eickter  was  secured  as  director,  and  upon  return  from 
Christmas  vacation,  rehearsals  began  with  about  forty  members  present. 

Progress  was  slow  at  first  because  of  the  inability  of  many  of  the  members 
to  read  music.  However  this  was  slowly  overcome,  with  the  result  that  by 
the  middle  of  March  a  fine  organization  had  been  molded. 

At  this  time  the  freshmen  members  left  for  placement  training,  dropping 
our  membership  to  about  twenty-five.  With  the  seniors  attending  faithfully 
and  giving  spirited  support  progress  continued. 

The  preliminary  stage  having  been  passed  through,  we  feel  confident  that 
the  succeeding  classes  will  keep  alive  the  interest  and  strive  for  the  incorpora- 
tion of  musical  presentation  with  the  Commencement  execises.

One  dark,  stormy  night  the  Yokelville  male  citizenry  was  assembled  in 
Hank  Hicks'  combination  General  Store,  Post  Office  and  Hotel  around  the 
sputtering  stove,  boasting  as  usual.  This  particular  evening  the  bone  of 
contention  was  education.  Finally  after  each  braggart  had  exhausted  his  real 
and  imaginary  source  of  learning,  Hiram  Judkins'  high  falsetto  voice  broke 
through  their  heavy  silence  with  an  introductory  hem  and  haw  and  he  forthwith 
held  his  cronies  spellbound  and  gaping. 

"Waal  fellers,  mebbe  I  ain't  got  nothin'  much  on  you,  but  I  got  a  cousin 
down  Amherst  way  who  went  ter  school  even  after  he  got  outer  the  grades. 

He  tells  as  how  he  was  one  of  em  as  entered  the  Two-Years  Course  at  the 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College — guess  that's  it — in  1927,  and  they  was 
purty  nigh  outer  a  million  or  mebbe  a  hundred  and  thirty-two  who  started 
with  him. 

"The  first  day  he  says  they  was  durn  near  flabbergasted,  the  place  was  so 
big,  by  gum,  there  bein'  so  many  buildin's  for  'em  stretched  all  over  the  campus, 
and  billions  of  other  kids,  too. 

"Seems  ter  me  I  heard  Aloysius  say  he  went  to  a  number  of  shindigs  up 
there — receptions,  dances,  and  the  like.  He  said  they  was  al'ays  gettin" 
together  now'n  again  specially  ter  the  football  games,  and  almost  lost  their 
voices  yellin'.  The  boys  got  up  a  hockey  team,  and  he  never  see'd  the  like  of 
the  way  those  fellers  could  travel  on  skates — some  game  that! 

"They  all  stuck  together  like  glue  through  every  scrap.  Besides  these 
games,  they  played  others  as  all  of  us  useter  do,  and  gosh,  the  co-eds  (that's 
what  the  girls  are  named  up  there)  were  in  some  sorta  thing,  rifle  team,  think 
that's  what  they  call  it  by.     Guess  girls  ain't  left  out  of  nothin',  now  a  days. 

"An'  say,  lemme  tell  ya  somethin'  right  here!  They  held  a  real  votin' 
thing,  election  'twas,  and  by  crackee,  they  certainly  did  purty  well.  I  reckon 
they  was  afeared  my  cousin  Aloysius  was  too  smart  ter  lead  'em,  so  instead 
the  head  of  the  class  was  Henry  Graf,  and  his  sub  was  Elbridge  Belden.  Agnes 
Sullivan  kept  account,  whilst  Fred  Moore  passed  the  hat.     Not  half  bad,  'eh.-* 

"Sure,  they  had  clubs.  Seems  though  they  al'ays  went  by  initials.  There 
was  two  fraternities,  seems  ter  me,  called  the  A.  T.  G.  and  the  K.  K.  Don't 
know  much  'bout  'em,  but  Aloysius  was  al'ays  writing'  home  sayin'  his  fra- 
ternity was  havin'  a  meetin'  or  doin'  somethin'  or  ruther.  'Member  cousin  says 
the  S.  C.  S.  (that's  the  girls'  society)  held  a  right  good  Costume  Dance,  too. 

"Waal  comin'  along  March  the  fellers  and  girls  was  sent  out  on  diff'rent 
farms  for  placement  work,  think  'twas,  but  I  'spect  they'll  all  be  back  in  the 
Fall  ready  ter  fill  the  seniors'  shoes. 

"Reckon  'Liza  wants  me  ter  home  now,  boys,  but  next  time  I'll  tell  yer 
more  about  how  they  came  out  as  graduates  an'  all  the  rest.  Before  I  go 
whaddya  say  to  a  cheer  like  they  done?  Ready!  Set!  Go!  Rah!  Rah!  Rah! 
for  the  Class  of  1929!     Whoopee!"

By  special  arrangement  with  the  departments  concerned,  we  are  pleased 
to  print  the  following  examination  for  those  interested. 

AGRONOMY  HUSBANDRY 

Quiz  No.  .007198. 

1.  How,  if  no  scales  were  available,  could  the  length  of  a  hatching  egg 
be  determined  by  using  an  18  grain  test  bottle  that  had  been  subjected  to  a  high 
degree  of  pigmentation  in  the  maner  prescribed  by  Farrington? 

2.  If  the  amount  of  available  humus  in  a  barrel  of  dry  undrained  muck 
exceeds  the  liters  weight  of  the  organic  matter  in  several  liters  of  chipped  beef, 
how  could  the  necessary  amount  of  lime  be  applied  to  sandy  loam  if  the  coulter 
on  the  manure  spreader  was  set  to  plow  a  furrow  8  inches  in  depth?  (If  the 
negative  is  true,  could  the  answer  be  used  as  an  ample  excuse  to  throw  broken 
glass  in  the  laboratory  sinks?) 

3.  On  a  field  trip,  assuming  that  it  was  raining,  how  could  the  apples 
of  any  poultry  plant  owner  be  pilfered  in  a  manner  that  would  not  lower  the 
B.  F.  test  of  his  28  egg  per  month  flock  if  the  tile  drains  were  plugged  on 
three  ends?  (At  some  later  date,  an  experiment  of  this  nature  will  be  under- 
taken. In  case  of  snow,  exercises  will  be  held  in  the  basement  of  the  Drill 
Hall.) 

4.  Could  an  average  lactometer  reading  of  6%  be  continued  in  case  of 
hail  if  the  operator  of  the  test  was  killed  by  exposure  to  2/3  of  the  run  oflf 
water  from  three  roofs  of  any  given  number  of  large  size  orchards  that  have 
a  growth  of  buckwheat  as  a  cover  crop?  (In  case  of  rain,  the  funeral  will  be 
held  on  the  following  month.) 

5.  Draw  a  diagram  showing  the  common  factors  which  influence  the 
spread  of  head  type  disease  and  all  the  ways  it  may  be  cured  by  use  of  egg 
laying  contests.     (If  no  roosters  are  available,  disregard  the  topography.) 

6.  "Why  is  soil  formed  in  milk? 

7.  Is  the  slope  of  the  Pin  Bones  determined  by  the  acidity  of  whey  or 
its  equivalent? 

8.  Give  the  average  B.  F.  test  for  any  given  number  of  Southdown  cows 
if  the  pigmentation  has  been  found  only  in  the  teeth. 

9.  If  tile  drainage  is  applied  to  cows  giving  an  average  of  21,000  lbs.  of 
21/4  milk  per  year,  will  the  B.  F.  be  increased  or  will  the  bacteria  be  decreased? 
How  is  this  accounted  for? 

10.  How  many  pounds  of  Merrimac  fine  silt  clay  must  be  applied  to 
716,499  square  grams  of  skim  milk  testing  6%  B.  F.  to  produce  milk  equal  in 
texture  to  that  sold  in  Chelsea  on  July  30? 

11.  Why  must  the  lime  used  to  neutralize  acid  soil  be  first  subjected  to 
pulverization  by  means  of  the  Babcock  tactometer,  if  the  cream  test  bottles 
cannot  be  found?  (This  question  is  optional,  and  should  be  answered  yes 
or  no.)

i^  1926  (a),§HORXHORN 


12.  How  may  the  tilth  of  Cheddar  Cheese  be  found  if  the  B.  F.  test 
exceeds  the  lactometer  reading,  and  if  so  why? 

13.  How,  by  use  of  7  inch,  dividers,  may  the  length  of  the  pelvic  arch 
of  the  lowest  producing  Jernsey  on-  record  be  determined  if  the  first  four 
primaries  in  the  next  door  neighbor's  goat  are  not  yet  fully  developed. 
N.  B.  This  answer  may  be  earned  out  three  places  and  written  in  cubic 
centimeters. 

14.  How  many  pullets  are  needed  to  produce  a  certain  number  of  eggs 
some  cold  day?  If  the  eggs  have  an  acidity  test  of  over  79,  two  eggs  are 
counted  as  one  in  the  case  of  broken  ones.

Ripley — Girls  were  harder  to  kiss  in  your  day,  weren't  they  Grandpa? 
Grandpa — Maybe,  but  it  was  not  so  blamed  dangerous  in  them  days — 
the  old  parlor  sofa  wouldn't  smash  into  a  tree  just  about  that  time. 

Preacher — Will  you  have  this  woman  to  be  your  wedded  wife? 
Wood — What  do  you  suppose  I  came  here  for?

THOUGHTS  OF  A  GRIND 
They're  going  to  the  movies, 
I'd  like  to  join  them  too; 
But  I  came  here  to  study 
And  I've  "Rural  Soc"  to  do. 

The  gang  is  playing  rummy, 

I'd  like  to  join  the  game; 

But  the  way  I  neglect  my  Genetics 

Is  quite  a  crying  shame. 

They're  selling  tickets  for  the  dance, 
They  wish  me  to  attend; 
But  I'd  better  finish  that  reference  book 
For  I've  assignments  without  end. 

I've  no  final  exams  to  take, 

I'm  dying  to  step  out; 

But  the  gang  are  finding  their  studies  hard 

And  I've  got  to  help  them  out.

A  week  before  school  began,  about  twenty  men  reported  to  Coach  Ball, 
sessions  being  held  three  times  daily.  With  the  opening  of  classes,  the  squad 
was  increased  considerably.  The  team  was  captained  by  Howard  G.  Pulsifer, 
and  Alan  D.  Stackpole  was  chosen  as  Manager. 

Vermont  Academy  32 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  12 
A  trip  to  Sacton  River  for  the  opening  game  of  the  season  resulted  in  a 
loss.  Our  green  team  showed  offensive  ability,  however,  by  scoring  two 
touchdowns  after  Vermont  had  made  19  points  in  the  first  five  minutes  of  play. 
Slowness  in  getting  started,  and  the  greater  experience  of  our  opponents  were 
too  great  to  overcome. 

WiUiston  Academy  33— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  0 
\  fruitless  journey  to  Easthampton  resulting  in  a  clear-cut  victory  for  our 
opponents.  This  was  due  in  part  to  the  removal  of  Sam  Mitchell  because  of 
injury,  and  the  incompetentcy  of  a  substitute  center,  no  score  having  been  made 
up  to  the  time  of  the  substitution.  During  the  first  half  we  kept  the  ball  in 
their  territory  most  of  the  time,  but  many  fumbles  later  in  the  game  spelled 
our  defeat. 

Trinity  College  Freshmen  0 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  25 
This  game  proved  that  our  team  was  rounding  into  form,  and  showing 
driving  power  as  well  as  close  defensive  work.    A  fighting  spirit  was  instilled

into  the  team  as  the  boys  had  promised  to  bring  back  the  football  to  Coach 
Ball,  who  was  ill  at  home. 

M.  A.  C.  Freshmen  0 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  0 
This  game  was  the  talk  of  the  campus,  and  the  attendance  was  large. 
The  many  prophesies  of  defeat  for  us  were  not  realized,  however,  as  our  line 
was  impenetrable,  the  frosh  backs  being  stopped  consistently.  At  the  very 
beginning  we  took  the  offensive  and  threatened  continually,  reverting  to 
defensive  play  during  the  last  half.  A  thrilling  game,  and  well-played  all 
the  way. 

Pittsfield  High  School  6— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  13 
A  well  rewarded  trip  to  Pittsfield,  with  our  team  playing  its  best  brand  of 
football.     Repeated  gains  by  Olsen,  Graf,  and  Crissman,  combined  with  real 
defensive  work  by  the  line,  kept  the  ball  in  Pittsfield  territory  most  of  the  time. 
Pittsfield  fought  hard  to  come  back,  but  we  were  not  to  be  denied. 

Deerfield  Academy  32 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  7 
The  hardest  fought  game  of  the  season  without  our  team  out-weighed, 
and  most  of  the  boys  playing  the  full  game,  while  our  opponents  substituted 
freely.     Our  only  score  came  as  a  result  of  a  recovered  fumble  by  Brad  Butler, 
who  ran  30  yeards  for  a  touchdown. 

This  team  was  a  great  improvement  over  last  year's,  and  it  was  made  up 
of  practically  all  green  men,  only  two  letter-men  returning  this  fall.  With  good 
seasoned  material  as  a  nucleus,  '29  should  have  a  successful  season. 

W.  Brown  was  elected  Captain,  and  Parkinson  Manager  for  next  season. 

The  team:  L.  E.,  Cheney;  L.  T.,  Pulsifer  (captain);  L.  G.,  Taylor; 
C,  Mitchell;  R.  G.,  Dibble;  R.  T.,  Brown;  R.  E.,  Butler;  Q.,  Graf;  R.  H., 
Sylvia;  L.  H.,  Crissman  and  Pellett;  F.  B..  Olsen;  Subs.:  Line,  NapoH,  Kellogg, 
Skovron,  White,  Greene,  Ashworth,  Ashton,  Cormell,  Stevens;  Backs,  Farmer, 
Gillis,  Hall,  and  Hulbert. 

Insignia  were  awarded  to  the  following:  Howard  G.  Pulsifer,  '28,  of 
Natick;  Bradford  H.  Butler,  '28,  of  Agawam;  and  Ralph  E.  Olsen,  '28,  of 
Belmont. 

The  following  received  sweaters  as  well  as  insignia:  Samuel  S.  Mitchell, 
'28,  of  Salem;  Thomas  Napoli,  '28,  of  Lexington;  Oscar  B.  Taylor,  '28,  of 
Westport,  Conn.;  Joseph  Sylvia,  '29,  of  Mattapoisett;  Henry  Graf,  Jr.,  '29, 
of  Newburyport;  Lysleford  Dibble,  '29,  of  West  Springfield;  Oliver  F.  Cheney,

Directly  after  the  Christmas  vacation  about  forty  candidates  reported  to 
Coach  Ball,  and  under  his  direction  a  good  team  was  molded.  The  team  was 
captained  by  Alden  W.  Butters,  and  managed  by  Frank  L.  Lopes. 

Arms  Academy  15— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  28 
A  line  start  with  the  team  showing  up  well  as  a  unit.     Some  polishing 
needed,  but  proving  that  we  have  real  scoring  power. 

Hopkins  Academy  18— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  25 
The  team  still  working  well.     Hopkins  led  5 — 3  at  the  end  of  the  first 
half,  but  with  Fleming  leading  the  attack,  we  came  back  to  win  decisively. 

Smiths  Academy  12— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  33 
Another  clean  victory  with  Fleming  and  Olsen  leading  the  offense,  and 
Captain  Butters  fine  at  guard.     Our  game  all  the  way. 

South  Deerfield  High  School  27— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  24 
A  fast  and  exciting  game  in  which  our  slowness  in  getting  started,  and 
the  superior  basket  shooting  by  our  opponent  forwards,  combined  to  defeat  us. 

New  Salem  Academy  19 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  9 
Our  utility  men  started  this  game  and  were  on  the  short  end  of  a  14 — 11 
score  at  the  'first  half.     Our  regulars  went  in  and  proceeded  to  tally  at  will 
and  win  handily.

Pittsfield  High  School  33— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  23 
The  visitors  amassed  18  points  to  our  reserves'  4  in  the  first  half,  which 
proved  too  much  for  the  regulars  to  overcome. 

Amherst  High  School  5— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  48 
Our  opponents  were  greatly  outclassed,  making  only  one  goal  from  the 
floor.     Fleming  and  Kelley  led  our  attack. 

Middlesex  Pre-Medical  19— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  23 
A  very  evenly  contested  game  with  our  superior  offense  carrying  us  to  a 
win  in  the  last  half.     Fleming  again  led  the  scoring. 

Sacred  Heart  High  School  31— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  15 
The  first  game  on  a  strange,  larger  floor  and  slowness  in  getting  started 
were  accountable  for  our  defeat.    A  hard-fought  and  closely  contested  game. 

Deerfield  Academy  48— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  30 
A  visit  to  Deerfield  resulting  in  a  defeat  for  us.    The  first  half  was  played 
on  even  terms,  but  during  the  second  half  our  opponents  tallied  consistently. 

Turners  Falls  High  School  48— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  37 
A  very  fast  game  in  which  both  teams  scored  freely.     The  weakening  of 
our  defense  in  the  last  half  caused  our  defeat. 

Smith  Agricultural  School  11— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  35 
A  grand  finale  for  the  season,  the  team  going  fast  with  Olsen  leading  the 
attack.    The  utility  men  played  most  of  the  game  and  made  a  fine  showing. 

The  team:     C,  Fleming;  R.  G.,  Butters  (captain)  ;  L.  G.,  Pellett;  L.  G., 
Kelley;  R.  F.,  Olsen;  Subs:   Napoli,  Mayo,  and  Woodger. 

Insignia  were  awarded  to   the   following:      Alden  W.   Butters.   '28,   of 
Natick;  Ralph  E.  Olsen,  '28,  of  Belmont;  Leonard  Pellett,  '29,  of  Gardner. 

The  following  received  sweaters  as  well  as  insignia:    James  Fleming,  '29, 
of  Ashland,  N.  H.;  Milton  Kelley.  '29,  of  Ashland.  N.  H.

Because  of  the  interest  shown,  and  the  recognition  gained  last  year. 
Hockey  became  installed  as  a  major  sport.  As  soon  as  the  ice  was  in  good 
condition,  about  twenty  men  reported  to  Coach  Briggs.  The  team  was  cap- 
tained by  Lewis  H.  Maddocks,  Jr.,  and  Samuel  S.  Mitchell  was  chosen  Manager. 

A  schedule  of  ten  games  was  prepared  but  due  to  the  extremely  queer 
weather,  the  ice  being  in  poor  condition,  seven  of  these  were  cancelled. 

Greenfield  High  School  2— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  1 
A  trip  to  Greenfield  for  our  opening  game.  A  fast  one  with  our  forward 
line  peppering  the  goal  consistently,  and  our  defense  working  well.  The 
score  was  1 — 1  at  the  end  of  the  second  period,  but  in  the  last  period  the  puck 
was  shot  through  a  hole  in  the  side  of  our  net,  counting  as  a  tally,  because  the 
goal  referee  would  not  change  his  decision.  Arguing  was  of  no  avail,  so  we 
accepted  the  decision,  hoping  for  a  return  game,  which  was  not  realized. 

Deerfield  Academy  1 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  2 
Our  objective  game  of  the  season,  and  one  replete  with  thrills,  both  for- 
ward lines  threatening  their  opponents'  goal  continually.  In  the  first  period, 
both  defenses  were  impenetrable,  no  score  being  made.  Our  forward  line 
organized  in  the  second  period  with  the  result  that  2  goals  were  scored.  Our 
opponents  fought  hard  to  come  back  in  the  last  period,  their  efforts  being 
rewarded  with  one  goal.     A  good  game  with  a  very  gratifying  ending.

Gushing  Academy  2 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  l| 
A  long  trip  to  Ashburnham,  and  the  game  played  during  a  driving  snow 
storm.  Both  teams  were  severely  handicapped,  but  it  was  a  fast  game  from 
start  to  finish.  Gushing  tallied  in  the  first  period,  and  we  countered  a  few 
minutes  later.  No  score  was  ixiade  in  the  next  period.  The  last  period  was 
nip  and  tuck,  until  with  only  a  few  seconds  to  play,  our  opponents  with  a 
well  arranged  attack,  eliminated  our  defense  and  scored.  A  well-organized 
team  and  a  fine  one  to  keep  on  our  schedule. 

Two  practice  games,  against  a  team  composed  of  half  varsity  and  half 
freshmen  were  played,  and  in  which  we  broke  even,  winning  one  1 — 0,  and 
losing  the  other  by  the  same  score. 

The  class  of  '29  with  a  team  built  around  Hennie  Graf,  a  fast  forward, 
and  Hermie  Hoyt,  a  hard-skating  center,  with  good  material  in  Gillis,  Eyberse, 
Skovron,  W.  Brown,  T.  Brown,  and  JVIasciocchi  should  have  a  successful 
season. 

Graf  was  elected  Gaptain,  and  Beals  Manager  for  next  season. 

The  team:  G.,  Hoyt;  R.  W.,  Graf;  L.  W.,  Maddocks  (captain)  ;  R.  D., 
GiUis;  L.  D.,  Kimball;  Goal,  Batchelor;  Subs:  Eyberse,  Masciocchi,  Skovron, 
W.  Brown,  T.  Brown,  and  Stevens. 

Henry  Graf,  Jr.,  '29,  of  Newburyport,  received  insignia. 

The  following  received  sweaters  and  insignia:  Lewis  H.  Maddocks,  Jr., 
'28,  of  Dracut;  George  W.  Kimball,  '28,  of  Littleton;  Warren  A.  Batchelor, 
'28,  of  Stoughton;  Herman  F.  Hoyt,  '29,  of  Newton.

In  the  latter  part  of  March,  the  battery  candidates  were  called  out  and 
practiced  daily  to  get  into  condition.  With  the  close  of  spring  vacation,  the 
reminder  of  the  squad  reported  to  Coach  Briggs.  Andrew  Pazsit  was  elected 
Manager.  Practice  sessions  are  being  held  daily,  and  the  team  should  give  a 
good  account  of  itself. 

A  number  of  injuries  have  occurred  to  rob  the  team  of  some  very  good 
material,  but  it  is  hoped  that  they  will  be  back  in  the  ranks  shortly.

On  The  Best  Authority 

There  has  been  some  confusion  about  the  rela- 
tive value  of  cleaning  and  sterilization. 

On  the  best  authority  these  two  methods  are 
complimentary  to  each  other. 

Sterilization    should    always    follow    the    most 
careful  cleaning,   a  cleaning  such   as   the  use  of 


airyman's 


provides  with  its  efficient  action  and  unequalled 
rinsing  qualities. 

In  this  way  a  perfectly  clean  surface  is  provided 
for  dairy  equipment  so  that  the  sterilizing  process 
can  complete  the  work  of  insuring  a  surface  free 
from  preventable  causes  of  lost  quality  in  milk 
and  milk  products.

There  is  Chemistry  and  Physics 
Economics  and  Hydraulics 
In  Building  Greenhouses 

But,  thanks  be  to  Peter,  YOU  don't  have 
to  stud^  any  of  them. 


WHILE  you've  gone  about  your  job  of  learning  how  to  grow  better 
flowers  and  more  succulent  vegetables,  we've  been  building 
greenhouses  to  make  raising  them  a  lucrative  twelve-months-a-year 
occupation. 

While  you  have  studied  the  chemistry  of  soils  and  fertilizers,  we 
have  been  applying  chemistry  to  the  protection  of  greenhouse  metals 
and  wood  from  moisture  and  decay. 

Every  greenhouse  we  build  is  a  product  of  engineering  skill,  a 
result  of  eighty  years  of  tusslings  with  the  laws  of  physics. 

Every  improvement  we  make,  adds  just  so  much  to  the  economy 
of  production. 

That's  why  the  Hitchings  greenhouse  is  a  perfected  tool,  ready  to 
your  hand,  when  you  start  out  to  make  your  mark  and  your  fortune 
in  the  field  of  your  chosen  occupation.  ■ 

Tell  us  what  you'd  like  to  do,  and  mayhap  we  can  tell 
you  how  others  have  done  it.  Many  of  them  with  the 
aid  of  Hitchings  greenhouses  and  Hitchings  interested 
cooperation.     Write  us  and  let's  get  acquainted.
